Project Information

Over the past couple of days we had our 11 year old grandson stay.
Of course "pa" time in the shed was a must.
He selected one of the patterns from my box of templates to make.
The centre piece is an offcut of what I think is "****************************************" with the sides are "Cypress Pine".
He did a good amount of the cutting and sanding which he enjoyed.
He chose the duel treaded wheels which make it look a little mean.
The finish is my homemade WipeOnPoly.
And of course it had to be signed with the ACC and Nate.



All in all, a special day in the shed.

Your grandson did a wonderful job. And time well spent. Looks great.

Waiting for the day I can do that with my grandkids, and by that time I should be retired, or at least working for myself.

Wonderful on many levels. Great project and special time with your grandson. I like the dual treaded wheels…if you're going to have a cool car you want it to really stand out!

The stacking gives it that "super car" look without a lot of carving 8^)

A fine one "Pa" and great to see the quality time well spent!

It is great that Grampa is showing him how to use tools at an early age. He will remember this forever.

Nice work! Looks great.

You just have to spend time with that boy. Soon he will be busy doing his stuff with no time for Pa.
Sad but true.
Love the car.
